I quit! 13 members of the Moslem Brüderbund on suspicion of planting bombs around the Suez Canal to disrupt shipping, security sources said on Monday. The waterway, the fastest shipping route between Europe and Asia, is a vital source of hard currency for Egypt, particularly since the 2011 uprising that toppled veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... and scared off tourists and foreign investment. Egypt's government has escalated rhetoric against the Brotherhood, which it regards as a terrorist group, since the liquidation of the country's top prosecutor last week. The security sources said the men formed a 13-member cell that included an employee at the Suez Canal Authority. |
